Kansas Proud Tulip Bulbs FAQs

These tulips are loved for their bold purple-red flowers and ability to thrive in many climates. They handle unpredictable spring weather well, making them a reliable choice for Midwest-inspired gardens.
2. When should I plant Kansas Proud Tulip Bulbs?
Plant in fall before frost when soil temperatures are around 60°F (15°C). This gives the bulbs time to root before winter, ensuring strong blooms in spring.
